Leisure Time reports third quarter sales gain Leisure Time Products, Inc., of Nappanee, Indiana reports sales gain for the third quarter of 34 per cent over the third quarter of 1976 and a slight decline in earnings of ■£ percent from the same period last year. W.P. Marshall, president, reports the company had net income .of $574,285 or $ .18 per share on sales of $7,975,990 for the third quarter. This compared to income of $577,207 or $ .23 per share on sales of $5,948,297 for the same period last year. Shares outstanding were 3,145,000 and 2,516,000 respectively. Net income for the nine months was $1,115,049 or $ .35 per share on sales of $17,744,517 compared to net income of $1,112,726 or $ .44 per share on sales of $13,311,454 for the same period last year. Marshall states that the sales increase is due largely to increased shipments of vans, commercial units, and relocatable housing, which involves the production of LTP Southern Division in Evergreen, Alabama and Cedar Chalet Division, White Pigeon, Michigan, not in last year’s report. Sales of recreational vehicles, however, have been adversely affected by the consumers’ uncertainty concerning president Carter’s energy proposal. Leisure Time is a diversified manufacturer of recreational vehicles, van conversions, fun trucks, commercial vehicles, and rustic relocatable housing. A subsidiary also distributes recreational vehicle and mobile home parts and accessories. Net income has not kept pace with sales due to lower gross profit percentages resulting from a rapid increase in manufacturing facilities as well as unrecovered supplier price increases. Net profit has also been affected by the Company’s decision to reorganize and expand its management organization to enable it to handle the growth in volume which it is experiencing and which it expects to continue.
